The current KFC campaign "I ate the bones" ranks right up there.
According to these ads, only people who are so stupid as they didn't realize they ordered boneless chicken go to the restaurant.
You will notice a trend with these sorts of ads. They MUST use adult white men who are not obviously gay, are not elderly, have no visible physical handicaps, and while they can be overweight, they mustn't' be profoundly obese.
At least for the first three or four spots to establish the campaign.
ANYBODY ELSE in the ad, somebody who is ethnic, female, too young or old, and so on, who plays an idiot, will cause the advertising manager of the outfit their job and drag the CEO and the director of the ad agency to appear in front of a Senate committee.
Now, once the ads have been running for awhile, they can use somebody else, but only occasionally, and even then, they'll get called names because of it by those protected groups PACs.

Gain laundry detergent just put out a new one.
Its persistent bio-reactive chemicals (long lasting scent) will turn a man into a cross dresser.

I don't see much in the way of advertising as I don't watch much TV these days. It might have something to do with their being mostly crap on TV these days. As for internet ads, I don't mind because they like to tell you how long they are on for exactly so you know how long you can go do something else while waiting for the ads to be over. On Youtube, you can skip some of them after five seconds which I almost always do or type in repeat after the URL which puts you on the website that sets a video to auto repeat which also bypasses the ads entirely so you can watch it then leave the site when you are done.
Aren't there already several online services that basically offer this?Smooth said:I had a dream a while ago that I invented a premium television/cable network that eliminated all commercials. I suppose, if people wanted to pay enough for a service like that, it could work. I'd never be able to afford it, of course!!
I'm sorry, but unless you are going to pay for access to a service, there will be ads because somebody has to pay for the bandwidth.
And if the ads do not generate traffic to the advertiser's site and thusly sales, the ads will become more obnoxious until they do.
